“I Consider being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me”

As we delve into this issue some of you may want to chastise me for ‘being unloving’ towards those choosing/defending the homosexual lifestyle, but I feel the best way to love them is to present the truth (Ezekiel 3:18-21, 1 Cor 6:9-13). It’s also a good bet that the politically correct crowd and the Christian […]

Reflections of an Older American

I am amazed at how so many people 50 years old and younger (typically identified as the Post-Modern generations) seem to be disengaged with world events and apathetic about what is going on in the U.S. This includes folks who identify themselves as Christians or as being religious. It is as though the ‘under 50s’ […]

Wisdom & Patience

Wow is it difficult to be patient and allow your kids to make life impacting choices. All we can do is pray, pray, pray for them to make wise choices and not to get ahead of God’s will (1 Thes 5:16-18). This might be best demonstrated via a life story involving one of my sons. […]

The Best Sales Person

I have worked with and around sales folks for 30+ years. The best sales person I ever knew is L. A. Brown from Kentucky. He had been working the same territory for 25 years and was consistently ranked as one of the top three performers in the country. ‘Brownie’ was a follower of Christ who […]

Laid Off

Been there done that…more than once but after the initial shock and disappointment I had to pull it together because no matter what, I knew God had something better for me in His plan. In all cases, God provided for our needs in ways that were beyond what I could have dreamed. (Jer 29:11-13). I […]

No Credit Cards…

…unless you have the cash in hand and the discipline to pay the balance due (not the minimum payment) each month (Prov 22:7). If you can accomplish this without fail, then only one credit card should be on hand for situations when cash and debit cards aren’t accepted or feasible (i.e. car rental, hotel reservations). […]

Parenting Adult Children

If you think raising teenagers and 2 year olds is a challenge just wait until the kids become adults. During the formative years, parents have a responsibility for overseeing their child’s choices and actually have an influence on those choice.
